Very Disturbing and Serious Subject Matter July 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I did not read anything about this film before purchasing it and, due to an interest in the German langauge, I generally buy most German language films which become available on DVD. I usually do not watch films with much or any violent content. The Free Will features several scenes of brutal assault and rape which are difficult to make it through. There are many people to whom I would never suggest they watch this film. It is a depiction of a serial rapist and the difficulties he encounters while attempting to cope with living life outside of a rehabilitation facility. Jurgen Vogel gives an intense performance in a very demanding role. The film-making is quite effective and the camera unflinchingly places us near the troubling events as they unfold. This film is worth seeing but is certainly not for everyone. There are moments of tenderness, redemption, agony, brutality, desperation and regret. I am interested to read any other reviews people might post here.
